Water your plant regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Mint plants can also benefit from occasional misting to increase humidity around the leaves.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lighting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mint plants prefer bright, indirect light, but they can also tolerate some shade. If your plant isn&#8217;t getting enough light, you may notice that the leaves become pale or yellowish. On the other hand, if the plant is exposed to too much direct sunlight, the leaves may scorch or wilt.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Temperature:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mint plants are hardy and can tolerate various temperatures but prefer cooler conditions. Avoid placing your plant in a room that gets too hot or cold, as this can stress the plant and affect its growth.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fertilizer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mint plants don&#8217;t need a lot of fertilizer, but they can benefit from occasional feeding. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season, and follow the instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilizing.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Pruning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mint plants can become invasive if left unchecked, so regular pruning is important to keep them under control. Pinch off the tips regularly to encourage bushy growth, and trim any leggy or yellowing stems. You can also harvest the leaves regularly for culinary or medicinal use, which will help keep the plant compact and healthy.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/seedandsprouts.com\/essential-gardening-tools-names\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential gardening tools names<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24f78bf header2-subhead e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"24f78bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bdc553 things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1bdc553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_out_for_Common_Pests_and_diseases\"><\/span>Watch out for Common Pests and diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f90a658 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f90a658\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/mint+WEBP\/stock-photo-white-insect-fluff-on-a-mint-plant-1993675280.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"harvesting marigold\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daecac7 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"daecac7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mint plants grown indoors in containers are not very susceptible to pests and diseases.

They suck sap from the leaves, resulting in wilting and yellowing of leaves. Whiteflies can be found in many regions and controlled with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or yellow sticky traps.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Powdery mildew:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This fungal disease can occur in humid conditions, causing a white, powdery coating on the leaves. It can be found in many areas and can be controlled by improving air circulation around the plant and avoiding overhead watering. You can also use a fungicidal spray to control the disease.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Rust:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is another fungal disease that can affect mint plants grown indoors. It causes orange or brown spots on the leaves and is more common in humid conditions. To control rust, remove any infected leaves and avoid getting water on the leaves when watering. You can also use a fungicidal spray.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/seedandsprouts.com\/companion-planting-101\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companion planting 101<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57c6808 header2-subhead e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"57c6808\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c48303 things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3c48303\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_grow_Mint\"><\/span>How long does it take to grow Mint?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0f0894 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0f0894\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mint is a fast-growing plant that can usually be harvested for the first time within three to four weeks after planting.
